I'm investigating my options, since I can't pour in my new apartment, no shop or out building. In fact, I'm skipping the MSBA show this year, as I won't be set up to pour any quantities. Mike @ M&D if you are going an interested in taking some of my stock in for the show let me know and I'll pull together an inventory for you to look at.
If I get set up to pour, it will be somewhere other than under my own control, so I will likely stop all retail sales. So if anyone knows a spot in the Duxbury area, I can grab a 100 sq.ft. indoors and be able to set up a fume hood and 8" round exhaust; I'll trade free rubber for the space to pour. The alternative is to find a mentor, someone young I can train to pour for me, so again if you know anyone in the Duxbury area worth talking to let me know. I'm going to be meating with my freshwater counterpart in the Taunton area soon, he might be interested in pouring for me and himself, we will see. If I get set up, I'll be going through shops likely and not retail, as I'll only take larger orders as time will prevent me from doing small stuff.
If I do get set up soon, I can pour them as soft or durable as you want, I'll pour them so each fish rips them apart if you want  . I like them more durable for myself and that is why I standardized on something that would last 20+ fish before you had to re-rig. |

The new 7-1/2 Inch sluggo works better than the 9 inch and comes in a bulk pack of sorts..........
Gary yamamoto worms acually out fish the sluggo at times but, they dont hold up......
The 10 inch berkley power worm (black) is awesome on a 1/2 ounce andrus jig head.
The sluggo is good but its not the only soft plastic out there, There are others that work just as well..............
Sometimes the "hype" is more than the punch. Not saying I dont like them but, there are other things just as good......

If sluggo will not meet customer need someone else will. I don't think the folks at sluggo really know the SW buisness anyway. case in point...look at the hooks they supply.
I see a huge market for a softer Ledgerunner that comes pre-rigged. (hint)

Yamamoto GREAT Product.

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

At the East Bay Angler's show last night ,Charlie Soares was speaking about artificial eel alternatives . He had some nice pics of big fish with these in their mouths and some with the WobbleHead tubes.If you have trouble getting sluggos ,these will definately get the job done. Oh...the heads work on sluggos too  |

Actually Joe, there was a spot this summer where that head with a 9" ledgerunner was catching my 'pet' teen bass, almost nightly, 1hr of fishing 2 fish at a spot known to a select few as Plan B, |

Anyone ever try just hooking a piece of seaweed on a big safety pin? An old timer told me about it - works just as good and it's free!  |

The hooks that come with the sluggo suck, they will open right up on a decent fish. Of all the products listed, I would chose the Yamamoto worms for ther fish catching ability. I guess the softness of the lure is what makes the action so great so, I will trade one fish for one bait. I rig them exactly like the sluggo and once torn apart I keep the hooks and reuse them. Yum worms are another bait that is rigged the same as the sluggo and has the same results.We were using berkley 10 inch power worms a good 10 years ago with great results on a leadhead with a fast retrieve to keep them off the bottom, fish hit these hard!
There are many good soft baits try them all. I will be at the boat show from tommorow on so, if anyone wants to learn how to rig a sluggo..etc.. stop by Jim Whites booth I am going to bring a bunch to rig up......
One more thing! I dont care what anyone uses, the live eel will never be beat by a soft plastic no way no how  But looks like we may all be carrying plastic instead of eels one of these years so, better learn to use them!
Keep those rigged eels frozen! and save as many eel skins as you can! A skin plug is just about imposible to beat..........And one of the best lures you can use........ |
